California 02:47
I want to live in California But I'm stuck on this Island with yah All the fruits of my labour Going down the drain And I wonder why I bother Daydreaming of another When you one in the oven I can't complain Give me Beach Boys Playing on the juke box Teen Wolf surfing on the roof tops CJ wont you throw me a life line please I want to live in California I am sick of this cold weather Wanna feel the warm sun Carmel by the sea So lets pack up and get ready Start a new life with me baby Santa Barbra, Santa Cruz, San Francisco Bay Give me Beach Boys Playing on the juke box Teen Wolf surfing on the roof tops CJ wont you throw me a life line please I want to live in California But I'm stuck on this Island with yah All the fruits of my labour Going down the drain

Marvin Gaye was a troubled man But he had nothing on me I love sweet soul music please understand But it never did set me free Otis on the dock of the bay He gave me girl satisfaction Sam told me that a change would come And we waited for that reaction All Summertime That's where its at That's where its at I was born under a bad sign Like my man Booker T I ate green onions, red beans and rice Like Elanor Rigby Aretha took me to Dr Feelgood After killing me so softly And I said a little prayer with her preacher man I know that you was waiting for me To get up off my thang And take the night train home Take the night train home All Summertime That's where its at That's where its at Yeah Marvin Gaye Was a troubled man Marvin Gaye was troubled man Marvin Gaye was a troubled man But he had nothing on me

Its not the end of the world But you can, see it from here Concrete gnomes, and mobile homes All fall into the beer I watch container ships defy the laws of gravity I think of car park kisses past Etched into my memory And the people of the town Went and called it blue And who are me and you too, possibly argue The three tiny crosses you see Is old SS Montgomery Hull full of TNT She's gunna put us out of our misery Blow us all to smithereens And on the flip side of this coin It's all Ice-cream and bra straps London south boys, race around the block in laps Everything is cheap Mr B's is King Inflatable Killer Whales, hang from the ceiling And the people of the town Went and called it blue And who are me and you too, possibly argue The three tiny crosses you see Is old SS Montgomery Hull full of TNT She's gunna put us out of our misery Blow us all to smithereens Its not the end of the world Its not the end of the world Its not the end of the world But you can see it from here

I've got the money Time to myself Drank the whiskey And wine on the shelf The summers old The moneys spent Leaves on the trees Turn orange and red The party's over Its time for bed And I sleep alone, this evening as the air hits me It takes me out The room it spins Like a carousel The lights are bright They hurt my eyes Wind cuts through me Like a knife The party's over Its time for bed And I sleep alone, this evening as the air hits me Maybe the moon will wait There's a thousand things That I still have to say And as I move Like a dancing bear I close my eyes And breath in the air The party's over Its time for bed And I sleep alone this evening as the air hits Alone this evening, as the air hits Alone this evening, as the air hits me
